KUALA LUMPUR: Zulfahmi Khairuddin believes his charge Hakim Danish Ramli needs to forget about the Moto3 Rookie of the Year standings and just take things one race at time.

Danish finished third at Mugello and won at Brno, both in July, before suffering a mid-season slump in form.

But the Aeon Credit-MT Helmets-MSI rider came back strong at the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia over the weekend, qualifying third and finishing fourth in the lightweight class race.

Zulfahmi, who has been mentoring and managing Danish since 2020, said Danish's focus was much better at Sepang.
